Julius Shulman

Julius
You were such an inspiration to me.
You changed my life!
Miss your face.

I met Julius in 1993. My husband and I purchased a Rafael Soriano home. When visiting the Craig Krull Gallery, he phoned Julius at which time, Julius graciously invited us to his home where we viewed photographs he had taken of our home. He later ran prints for us. They hang on our walls to this day. He was a most generous man.

I didn't know about Shulman until the past year. As a young architectural photographer his work is current and more than inspiring. Watching his documentary and hearing him talk, I felt like I knew him. I wish I knew him. Thank you Julius, for inspiring me. For giving me hope.

My husband and I saw Mr. Shulman speak at the Art Center College of Design. The way he spoke it reminded me of how my grandfather was........kind, informative, opinionated and funny! All in the most charming way.

They passed the microphone around to audience members for questions and after I thanked him for his wonderful work, asked if I could take a photo of him. He laughed and said "that was a sneaky way to get a picture" and threw his arms open wide.

That picture is in my kitchen and I see it a dozen times a day. It always makes me smile! Always.

Rest in peace and thank you, Mr. Shulman for what you gave us.

I met Julius by courtesy of Richard Neutra in 1964, and in 1966 invited him to visit my country, which he did in march 1967. Here he met some important uruguayan architects, and left, as usual, fine photographic registers of their works.
He was an artist and a genius in his profession, kind but firm in his convictions about life and work, and left a deep sense of loss in those who had the privilege of meeting and knowing him.

For Julius...You turned pictures
of modest buildings into works
of are.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

To Julius' daughter and grandson, my sympathies and condolences on Julius' death. I recently watched the film made about his life "The Visual Accoustics of Julius Shulman" and was enraptured by his capture of architecture. He has left an abiding legacy and reminder of how we can frame our lives with beautiful buildings. Lydia Kindak

great timeless man. smart ,genuine ,talented, lets hope the world will find another like this great man!

I met Julius at a few architectural and photography events. He had the eye of an eagle. I appreciate his contribution to the world of architecture and his collection now being part of the Getty museum...Jeffrey Baker/2009.

May we all have comfort in knowing that God promise that he will wipe out every tear from our eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away.

As an architect, I have known about Mr. Schulman for most of my life. Lately, however, I have known about him as a mentor to my younger brother, Josef Kasperovich - a talented architectural photograher and a long time admirer of Julius Schulman. Josef would drive Mr. Schulman from his home in Hollywood to San Luis Obispo to give a lecture to the students at Cal Poly.

I have admired Julius' architectural photography for years. His contribution to this artistic style will live on through the generations.

My sincere condolences to the Shulman family for their loss.

My condolences to the Schulman family. May you find comfort in the promise that one day soon we will see our loved ones again.

An exhibit of Julius Schulman's photos was one of the first that I mounted when I came on board as director of the Sheldon Art Galleries in St. Louis in 2001. What wonderful photos they were! My condolences to the family - he will be missed.

Mr. Shulman generously & pleasantly shared his time & insights a few years ago with the OC Museum of Architecture group. We were honored. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time of great loss--an extraordinary gentleman with a wry smile.

To the daughter and grandson of Julius Shulman.
At Isaiah 65:22 we are told there will come a time when we will build houses and actually live in them ourselves.

Also we will have the opportunity to enjoy to our fullest capacity, life, as our creator Jehovah God Almighty intended. Isaiah 65:22.

Please may you find comfort in knowing there is more to life than what we see.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

sorry for your loss thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .

Rest in peace where beauty is surpassed by eternal love.

Mr. Shulman's work was some of the finest architectural photography to document America.

What a blessing to have had your father for so many years. Please find hope in the promise, that soon we can all enjoy a long-lasting life, as promised in Psalm 37:29: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."
